Before you begin your digital portfolio, it is wise to take a step back and think about your future and career path. The digital portfolio will embody who you are and your aspirations. Your portfolio begins with reflecting and questioning who you are as well as thinking about your goals. Goals provide meaning and structure to your life. When you are aware of the goals you want to pursue, you will become aware of the steps needed to accomplish them. Goals provide a plan and a vision. Knowing yourself aids in understanding your skills, setting goals, and ultimately knowing your career path. Having insight into all of these elements will help you produce a digital portfolio that is a better reflection of the true you.
